Ascents in Roadside Central

Perfectly imperfect holds. An awkward start leading to thoughtful moves. A stick clip probably wouldn’t be a bad idea...

Tough start into fun climbing at the grade

Dogged on second bolt. Pulling up onto the slab is now a pretty powerful sequence with the dug-out, overhanging start (common on various Roadside climbs due to the new gravel road running beneath the climbs).

Old Style for real -- hard for the grade, hand-jams, and the awkward. But a fun climb.

For old school crack cimbers, this might be a 5.8, but for a sport climb this is a lot more difficult. Awkward, hard and polished. I'd say it's closer to a 5.9+ or 5.10a.

Super polished, decent climb, nothing special.

Super polished 5.8 felt like I was gonna slip off

Name is fitting

How about those finger locks?!

The bolts on this route should be cut. This is a perfect finger crack that can be safely protected on gear. all you need is 1 blue nut, 1 grey 0.4, 1 purple 0.5 and optional grey 3 cam (this is not needed but will fit perfectly at the end of the crack before you step over to the slab section.

Wouldn't try without crack experience

Short and scrappy.

Not much for footholds at the crux. Getting polished

Not a very enjoyable route
